I’ve had a quick go at using the newer version (1.7.22) on OpenBSD 6.9 and
it seems to improve things. It certainly went from throwing an error to
being able to retrieve an https page.

I didn’t use the sample code just a simple http request so not saying the
egg drop code is guaranteed to work but might get you further along.

Download and extract the source code, configure, make and use. It seems to
just work.

Do you want to give that a go - I can give more details if you need.

Thanks,
Richard

You can only use the user’s Downloads directory. Copy files in there first

Small typo in upgrade66.html

[Richard Toohey]

Hi,

Thanks for 6.6.  And sysupgrade.

Read the 6.6 upgrade notes at http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade66.html 
and there's a small typo near the top.


"Before rebooting into the install kernel

    Check diskspace of /usr. Verify that the /usr partition has a size 
of at least 1.1G. With less space the upgrade may fail and you should 
consider to reinstall the system instead."


I think:

"may fail and you should consider to reinstall the system instead"

should probably be something like:

"may fail and you should consider reinstalling the system instead"

Thanks,
Richard.

Have you looked in /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/ for anything useful.

I've moved off PHP 5.6 so not exactly sure what the file will be called.

The instructions for 7.0.31:

    /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/php-7.0.31

... include instructions about what to do for some extensions so you 
/may/ need to do something similar.



- some 'core' extensions with extra dependencies are packaged separately
(e.g. php-pdo_mysql, php-ldap, php-soap, and others) and can be installed
with pkg_add(1).
...
For all extensions packaged separately (and for opcache), you will find a
file named /etc/php-7.0.sample/(MODULE_NAME).ini. To enable it,
add a symlink into /etc/php-7.0 and restart:

    ln -sf ../php-7.0.sample/MODULE_NAME.ini /etc/php-7.0/


Obviously these instructions will not be directly applicable in your 
case, but do have a look in /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes for 
anything php-related.

It all depends what zabbix-web wants. If it's written to use one

api then you will need to use the module providing that. pdo_mysql is
probably the most common nowadays.

Re: PF possibly causing weird SSL issues ?

[Richard Toohey]

On 09/19/18 09:02, Tim Jones wrote:

Hi,

I'm wracking my brains here.   I have just replaced  
with one based on OpenBSD 6.3 PF. Nothing else has changed on the network, just the 
firewall.

Lots of "stuff" that used to work (e.g. various nightly pushes of data to "the 
cloud") have suddenly stopped working after the new firewall was put in place.

It seems to be down to some sort of weird handling of SSL by PF ?  I can't see 
why it should be OpenBSD, and yet I also can't see why it cannot be OpenBSD, 
given nothing else has changed.

The reason I say this is because of what I see if I take troubleshooting down 
to its most basic level :

This:
wget -O bp_linux.tar.gz 
https://github.com/Azure/blobporter/releases/download/v0.6.15/bp_linux.tar.gz
Fails with:
OpenSSL: error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol
Unable to establish SSL connection.

And yet this (ironically !) :
wget https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.3/amd64/install63.iso
Works fine.

Similarly, this :
openssl s_client -connect 
github-production-release-asset-2e65be.s3.amazonaws.com:443 -servername 
github-production-release-asset-2e65be.s3.amazonaws.
com
Returns:
no peer certificate available
No client certificate CA names sent

And yet this :
openssl s_client -connect google.com:443 -servername google.com
Shows SSL certs OK  !

My PF is simple as follows (there is no NAT here, its fully routable) :
match in all scrub (no-df random-id)
block drop
set block-policy drop
set syncookies always
pass from  to any flags S/SA modulate state (pflow)

DNS and everything else is working fine.

(Not an expert, just suggesting some things that might provoke 
inspiration.  Hopefully.  But probably stuff already tried/eliminated.)


Are you sure it's pf?  If you disable pf (if that's an option here) - 
any difference?


If you take the rules out and then introduce them one-by-one - is there 
one that seems to break things?


What do the pf logs show?

Are you trying the commands on the firewall or an (OpenBSD?) machine 
behind the firewall?


[OpenBSD machine]---[OpenBSD firewall]---[the internet]

(Anything to do with LibreSSL versus OpenSSL?)

If you try those commands on another OpenBSD machine at a different 
location, do they work?


They work here (on a snapshot), so that does suggest they should work in 
general so yes, maybe the ruleset or pf.

Not a VM.

Stuck in an endless boot loop, with a flash of a "heap full" message 
before the next reboot.


Tried the same snapshot on an older Thinkpad and no issues.

Looked like it was a possible SSD problem (from what I could find in the 
archives), so I tried the 6.3 installer and that was fine.


Repeated the snapshot install and got back into the endless rebooting.


To confirm if this is the problem, can you install the older
snapshot as normal, then update kernel and file sets to the newer
one? (follow the "Upgrade without the install kernel" steps on
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade63.html, except skip the part
about running installboot do install a new bootloader).

Can you report back either way please (preferably to bugs@, with
dmesg and anything special about the VM config).. If it is the
same thing it would be useful for developers to have a way to
reproduce the problem that doesn't involve specific hardware..

0x0a is a line feed (LF), and 0xFF looks like it is the start of the JPG

Does your PHP source file have a blank line at the top?

e.g.
[blank line]


i.e. your PHP source file has the 0x0a in it?  If I'm right then that 
will be sent as part of the output (the first byte in fact - what you 
are seeing).

I had trouble with a Dell R620 with the iDRAC and FreeBSD / OpenBSD.

There's some issue to do with the iDRAC being Broadcom and also the 
other NICs.


FreeBSD 9.2 RC1 had the fix, so that was good enough for me for this 
machine:  http://forums.freebsd.org/archive/index.php/t-31769.html


I didn't keep very good notes (sorry!), but with OpenBSD 5.3 (and the 
latest snap at the time) I was getting bge0: watchdog timeout --- 
resetting


I did try turning the iDRAC NIC off, changing settings, etc., but had no 
joy until I used 9.2.


Obviously YMMV, I might have missed something, the FBSD changes might 
give you a clue what to do, etc. but it did give me a bit of grief at 
the time.


No other obvious issues with OpenBSD(/FreeBSD) on the machine - 
installed and found drives, RAM, etc. - just this NIC issue.

Lots of people don't follow the tools development too closely,

I use pkg_add -ui because that's what is in the upgrade instructions e.g.

I need to install a Dektop Environment for my partner.

I thought about KDE or xfce, i've tried neither on OpenBSD before. Which of the

I'm currently on XFCE and it works for me.

Used both Gnome and KDE and found good things and bad things - from *my* 
point-of-view.


I was happy with KDE 3.5.10 - but was missing the eye candy of newer 
things, so tried Gnome 3.


Was really enjoying Gnome 3 but it got a bit sluggish on the hardware I 
was using at the time, so headed for something more light-weight.


I've tried the more bare-bones ones like fvwm and cwm - bit too minimal 
for my liking, but worth trying cwm (in base so nothing to install.)


So moved to XFCE and been happy there for a while.  Alt-Tab works, 
performance is good, enough eye-candy for me.  Parole (the multi-media 
app) times out on some of my DVDs, so I use mplayer for those.  Picture 
viewer, GIMP for graphics, thunar file manager, Firefox  Chromium, 
Thunderbird, nice console, Libreoffice, etc., etc. Does everything I 
need and looks pretty enough.


It is really going to be down to personal preference and your 
requirements - no real short-cut to trying all three out for a few days 
and see which one works for you.


I would need things like removable media mounting from within the graphical 
environment, good sound support and multimedia applications.

Any advice would be helpful from those using any of these Desktop's. I thought 
i'd ask on this list before installing loads of packages.

While about 7 out of the 9 years with Linux have been good, the

that Windows may end up being my only option.

Which Windows GUI is that?

Last version I liked was Windows 2000; XP was OK, 7 a disaster, and 
sounds like Microsoft are backpedaling on Windows 8 and the tile-based 
approach.


Not sure there is any perfect GUI - if you are looking for something 
exactly like Windows, then you are going to have Windows (but as I say, 
Windows is a moving target - you talking about XP, 7 or 8, or Blue?)


KDE 4 and Gnome 3 have been big jumps from their previous versions.

I've been through KDE 3.5.10 to Gnome 3 to cwm, currently on XFCE which 
suits me personally.


If you get put off by a few links to non-installed applications, then 
don't think much is going to help you.


OS X looks nice, but there are a few frustrations in there, too. And if 
your customers prefer the Windows experience, then it's no help - it's 
not Windows, it is different.


Anyway, everything is meant to be on the cloud, Web 2.0 (or is it 3.0), 
iOS, Android, etc. so no-one cares about the desktop anymore. Yeah, right!


Good luck!

  Hello all, and thank you for taking the time to take a look at
this issue that I am currently having.  I've been a strong advocate of
OpenBSD for some time, but have only recently taken steps to start

My primary server was a 4.9 installation, and it was running
apache, with PHP and MySQL integrated for the purpose of serving a
mediawiki, a gallery2 installation, and a few other utilities that I
have had up for myself and some friends.  Unfortunately, ever since I've
made the leap from 4.9 to 5.0, I've been unable to get anything other
than plain HTML documents to display via apache.  The server tells me
that there are either '500' server errors or with a little more detail
MediaWiki tells me (Can't contact the database server: MySQL functions
missing, have you compiled PHP with the --with-mysql option? ).
Now according to the pkg_info listing that I have, I _believe_
that I have all of the proper packages and libraries installed, but I
guess I am mistaken as I'm still not able to serve pages up with any

 Nop, I don't have a rc.conf.local file ..


 so, just do:

 see rc.conf(5) man page as well.

 Ok, I have restored original rc.conf file, and created rc.conf.local with my

 But then a doubt emerges. What files are not recommended to touch between
upgrades? Where can I found this info??

You didn't find this?

http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq10.html

• /etc/rc.conf - Configuration file used by /etc/rc to set startup parameters
for the system. Should not be edited.
• /etc/rc.conf.local - Configuration file that overrides settings in
/etc/rc.conf so you don't have to touch /etc/rc.conf itself, which is
important when upgrading your system.

Re: Does your USB keyboard Dot key on keypad fail? Was Re: Shuttle XS35 v2 - One key going loco

 Hlo,
 The reason for putting this on top is that I have data that are showing that
I can not blame the Shuttle.

 Here is the brief infos-

 When using a USB keyboard [native USB or with an adaptor for ps2] the keypad
Del key works perfectly but when NumLock is on that key
 does not change its output to Dot when working with any version
 of OpenBSD that I have tried. Turning NumLock off and using the shift key
does not work either.

 There are no other keys affected.

 The problem exists on every computer that I try.

 Windows 7 or XP and NetBSD both work perfectly.

 There is now some tension in the evidence.

 (I) It would seem that there is a little bug in OpenBSD that will affect any
box running with USB keyboard.

 (II) I can't believe that this can not have been noticed before if clause
(I) is true.


IIRC then yes, I have noticed this (or something very similar.)  Trying to run
an emulator program on OpenBSD.

Worked fine on my laptop, but using a USB keyboard failed - it was returning a
different value for the same key.

This was a couple of months ago, so my memory might be playing tricks on me.

 Well maybe that no OBSD person uses USB keyboard? Or doesn't use that Dot
key on the keypad?

 Using the same keyboard with a ps2-USB adaptor I see the same

 This is what I see on the Shuttle also but it has no ps2 sockets
 so on it I'm stuck with no working dot key on the numpad and
 of course old habits die hard so I mess up lots of  ip addresses.

 Is there something in wsconsctl or such that would let me patch
 it? I've been hunting through various related man pages but I
 have not hit on a hint so far.

 Hey, b-by!

 Just recently i've posted a patch to tech@ that let's you examine
 the scancode of a key via wsconsctl!!!
 Then you can use basic wsconsctl features to set the key to
 whatever you want, now that you can identify it!!

 By the way - Marco Peereboom has posted a great ksh(1) to tech@ on
 2011-09-06 that let you do graceful multi-character-sequence key
 binding, which may also be of interest to you.
 Was for me.

 And YOU ARE THE FIRST Windows NT user i know of who cares about
 keyboard scancodes!
 This is just a FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE for me.

 But if I launch ping from php script (I tried exec and shell_exec

 nothing useful.


Have you got /bin/sh (off the top of my head) in the chroot bin directory?

I think PHP's exec tries to find that.

What is the return code/output from exec/shell_exec?  If 127, then that's a
clue.

See here for example -

The bit about error 127 and /bin/sh, not the guy who says just skip chroot!

Re: error report when installing gnome on openbsd 5.0

What *exact* version of OpenBSD 5.0?  Release?  CD?  Stable? Something else?
Generic?  i386?  amd64?  What?

Fresh install?  Upgrade?  Clean disc install from CD?  What?

What *exact* commands are you typing and what output do you get?

Have you set PKG_PATH to anything?

You are not providing enough information for anyone to help you.

Every release there are questions like this, and it usually ends up someone
trying to mix versions of OpenBSD with the wrong version of ports/packages.

And in the process of trying to explain EXACTLY what they have tried to do,
the lightbulb goes off.

 Thanks.
 Any help is appreciated.

 Thanks

 
 Thanks for reply.

 I myself is a programmer, from my point of view, it's a version mismatch
here. Because I think gnome is quite common used package, I want to know if
there's a quick fix for this, so, if somebody else has met the same problem
with me, or have solution for this, or have suggestion on this, pls reply on
this.

 For the bsd and packages, I'm using the latest release version. I get bsd
5.0, download the package on internet. So I don't know where the mismatch
happens.

 Any help is appreciated.

 Thanks.

 OK, sorry about that, but I am a complete beginner in OpenBSD and
 there is so much to read that I have not been able to cover all the

Welcome to OpenBSD.

 And it was the first attempte at ports also.

 I guess I should spend less time
 in trying to set up the installation

 and more on reading


The installation?  Boot off the CD and follow the instructions and OpenBSD
will be installed 5 minutes later.

Install an application - pkg_add

Then go and do the reading.

Expect to still be reading and learning many years later - I am.  Between the
man pages, the FAQs, the source, and your favourite search engine - it's
(usually!) all there.

Just remember - it's not Linux, it hasn't got the deep pockets (filled with
$$$s) of Ubuntu.

It's not dumbed down - it expects the end-user to do a bit of thinking - how
can it guess/assume what is required on your machine or how it should be
configured?

It's better at some things, worse at others, ahead in some ways, behind in
others.  It won't cure cancer, but no kittens or babies are harmed.  Only you
can decide if it works for work in the way you need it to.  Different jobs
need different tools. YMMV.

Good luck.

http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html#Intro

The packages and ports collection does NOT go through the same thorough
security audit that is performed on the OpenBSD base system. Although we
strive to keep the quality of the packages collection high, we just do not
have enough human resources to ensure the same level of robustness and
security.

 Hi,

 Thanks for the tip. I
 have tried to install fvwm2 from the ports tree,
 but I saw a lot of gcc
 warnings during compilation, some of them
 possibly serious.


 This leads me to
 a more general question about using third party
 software. Is the source code
 of the binary application packages in

 source of such warnings?And I
 suppose applications installed from the ports
 system are as is,
 since the source is downloaded from upstream?

OpenBSD is (rightly) famed for the man pages:

man ports

Which also links you to the excellent FAQs.

openports.se is a very useful resource and I'm glad it is there - but my
understanding is that it is not an official part of the project.

 You just did.Whether someone who creates ports will do it

 for a port.

And from what I've seen - your suggestion will carry more weight if you attach
a port (or at least make a good at it) and mail it to ports@.

But if you should ask on ports@ first - somebody *might* already be working on

userdel -p option - FAQ/man page issue?

[Richard Toohey]

Hi, guys.

I wanted to disable a user account under OpenBSD 4.9, and Google led me here:

http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq10.html#AddDelUser

quoteRemoving users

To remove users with the user(8) hierarchy of commands, you will use
userdel(8). This is a very simple, yet usable command. To remove the user
created in the last example, simply:

# userdel -r testuser
Notice the -r option, which must be specified if you want the users home
directory to be deleted as well. Alternatively, you can specify -p and not -r
and this will lock the user's account, but not remove any
information./unquote

That last sentence - sounds exactly like what I need - so I try it:

# userdel -p testuser
usage: userdel -D [-p preserve-value]
  userdel [-prv] user

The man page suggests that it should work as well.

Looks like it has been raised before:

http://www.mail-archive.com/bugs@openbsd.org/msg01370.html

No patches because I'm not exactly sure what the right answer(s) are.

Am I just doing it wrong?

 When I try to mount a ntfs partition,  mount /dev/sd1i /mnt/win I get:
 mount_ntfs: /dev/sd1i on /mnt/x: Operation not supported

 I formated it with Windows 7. It works on windows and ubuntu linux.

 Any ideas on this?
 Maybe you need to build a custom kernel ?

Yes, NTFS is not on by default in amd64 in 4.8.

$ dmesg

And this was discussed a month ago ...

http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-miscm=129951700232105w=2

 Look :
 Once you have determined which partition it is you want to use, you
 can move to the final step: mounting the filesystem contained in it.
 Most filesystems are supported in the GENERIC kernel: just have a look
 at the kernel configuration file, located in the
 /usr/src/sys/arch/arch/conf directory. If you want to use one of the
 filesystems not supported in GENERIC, you will need to build a custom
 kernel.


 I'm running openbsd 4.8. on amd64. ntfs is supposed to be there
 (http://openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#foreignfs).

Some of that info is for 4.9 ...

HTH.

 Hi all,

 I'm interested on some benchmarks, specially with network/PF.


On the general performance:

 For example:

 What's the maximum bandwidth that a soekris (or alix) can handle safely as
a
 firewall? (with and without ipsec, how long the rule set are)

Why limit yourself to (low-end) machines?  Budget constraints?  Space
constraints?  Or it might to cool to play with these devices?  (I thought so
too, but in the end easier to whack in an old Dell Optiplex - as is often
recommended on this list.)


 Peter Hallin exposed a configuration that can handle near a 1Gbps on bridge
 mode.  Peter, how much traffic your new firewall handle?

 On the branded servers (Dell, HP, IBM, etc), how best traffic one firewall
 can handle?

Which goes fastest?  Ford or Holden?

What NICs are in those machines?


 These are some questions.

What does traffic mean?  Is your traffic the same as mine?

 Some of these information can help me to advocate OpenBSD based solution at
 work, starting with firewall.  Just as comment, some linuxes (argh) fw
can't
 handle as much as 100Mbps on Dells (R200 or R400).


pf is fast enough for me at my work.

It might not be fast enough for you at your work.

What are your requirements?

 Thanks for any comments,

 Hello,

 I just read some extracts of a paper, study from Margo Seltzer  Keith A.

 Dude.  That's a LONG time ago in the computer world.  It is also a very
 non-specific Log-structured file system, which may or may not have any
 real-world counterpart here 16 years later (yes, some modern file
 systems are logging FSs, but...are they descendants of this 1995 LFS?
 Or was this LFS a dead-end for real-world reasons that never show up in
 academic papers?  (I'm sure I could do some more research on this, but
 it's your question, not mine :)

 Basic questions from my side, is FFS-2 better than FFS in the sense of
 dealing with creation of many small files, and is fragmentation less
 than with FFS ?

 Please describe the fragmentation problem you have /observed/...  I do a
 lot to torment file systems, and never seen anything that looked like a
 PROBLEM caused by fragmentation on OpenBSD.  If you aren't seeing a real
 problem, how can you benefit from optimizing?

 Are other file systems with some improvement of performance compared to
 FFS available for OpenBSD ?

 Short answer: there are two file systems provided for day-to-day use on
 OpenBSD: FFS and FFS2.  FFS is the general purpose OS, FFS2 is for very
 large file systems which can't be handled by FFS.  Nice and simple.

 Other file systems that OpenBSD supports are for cross-system
 compatibility, not for better anything on OpenBSD, at least at this
 time (wouldn't mind seeing a working HAMMER port, of course).

 And...as FFS2 is used for larger file systems, I think it is safe to say
 that putting lots of small files on huge file systems is much worse than
 putting lots of small files on a few (or a lot) of small file systems.

 However, if you are looking at writing lots of small files, make sure
 you you are using softdeps, you will get a very large performance gain
 (I'm not talking 10% -- more like 10x!).  You may find you get much
 better real performance than many logging systems give.

Write a script that logs to a file (might need to flush after the write) every

Installer adding user - doesn't allow periods in user name

[Richard Toohey]

Hi, guys.

This thread[1] (sync adduser with installer) reminded me of a question that I
had:

If I use adduser, I can create a user firstname.lastname; if I try that via
the installer,
it doesn't like it - firstname.lastname is not a useable loginname.

If I look in (4.7) /usr/src/distrib/miniroot/install.sub ...

user_setup() {
local _q=Setup a user? (enter a lower-case loginname, or 'no')
[--cut--]
[a-z]*([a-z0-9_]))
(( ${#resp} = 31 ))  break ;;
esac
echo $resp is not a useable loginname.
done

So it's looking for a-z 0-9 and underscore (IF I am reading the code
correctly)
- but doesn't allow period?

man adduser says:

RESTRICTIONS
 username
 It is recommended that login names contain only lowercase
charac-
 ters and digits.  They may also contain uppercase characters,
 non-leading hyphens, periods, underscores, and a trailing `$'.
 Login names may not be longer than 31 characters.  If you need a
 longer login name for e-mail addresses, you can define an alias
 in /etc/mail/aliases.

Entirely as a learning exercise - is there a technical reason, or something
that is inadvisable about using the period in the user name?

Thanks.

That then should be than shouldn't it?

Encrypted data shorter THAN x?

And as I read this email again - it should be confounder not confunder in the

The member name is confounder not confunder?

(Looks like both need to be fixed in three places.)

Looks like still in 4.8 and beyond (if I am looking in the right place.)

Why do you think there are so many choices in open source - what

sendmail, popa3d, and openwebmail have worked for /me/ for a very
low volume mail server.  I didn't find it that easy (but I learnt a lot

 So, no diff here, but a suggestion:

 If one needs to avoid stale stuff lying around in /usr/obj at applying a
patch,
 the only logical consequence is, to clean out all /obj totally, even before
 applying a single patch.
 If I am correct, the instructions should be clear for 00N_ThisApp.patch:

 Apply by doing:
 cd /usr/src
 patch -p0  00N_ThisApp.patch

 Clean the build directories by issuing the command /usr/sbin/mk_build_clean

 And then rebuild and install the library and statically-linked binaries
 that depend upon it:

 cd lib/libThisApp
 make obj
 make depend
 make includes
 make
 make install
 cd ../../sbin
 make obj
 make depend
 make
 make install


 , where mk_build_clean is just the set of steps pointed out in 'man
release',
 respectively in FAQ5.
 To me, and I guess Richard Toohey, the case is solved.

 Everyone who can read, and likes following instructions, can read and
follow
 this easily.

No, the point that people are making (over and above HOW you report an
issue) is that blindly following the patch instructions is *not* good enough.

It doesn't matter how much more gets put in the docs or the patch files,
we didn't *think* enough about what we were doing - that's my mistake
and I intend to learn from it.

If we just end up blindly doing stuff and clicking on buttons to see what
happens, we should probably be using another operating system.

This *is* in the docs - if you read a little bit further than we did, and do a
bit
more thinking.

Maybe another line in the patch file would help ... but then what about the
next
issue that comes up?  The patch file doesn't tell you how to put the source
there,
so if you do *literally* follow cd /usr/src and then the patch line, you
won't even
have the right source, will you?  You had to read elsewhere to know how to
get
the source in the first place.

Or next someone will argue that Then build and install a new kernel is too
brief and there should be full instructions in every patch file.

If we go off and read the FAQ about building the kernel because the full
instructions
were not in the patch file, why didn't we go and read the FAQ about building
userland?

That's my take on it and I think the list members are rather bored of this

 Do you not agree barring broken makefiles and unreliable system clock
 (as someone pointed out), object files and binaries (in obj/) should
 have been rebuilt?

 It's a source tree with nearly 40,000 .[chyl] source code files, and
 probably another 40,000 further source code dependencies if you
 include manual pages and the perl parts.

 We try very hard, and the bsd.*.mk macro package helps a lot
 (enforcing consistancy-because-of-simplicity), but if you think we can
 get all the dependencies right every single time, it is a tough call.
 But this case is worse -- when the trash in the obj tree totally
 mis-matches the src tree since it is so far in the past... that is
 totally impossible.

 Dependencies don't help when they don't know about the files.  Even
 make clean or cleandir won't help you then.

 This was not an installer bug.  It had nothing to do with upgrades.
 We've said it before, and I guess we get to say it again:

  If don't know what you are doing, install a new snapshot.

 How many more times do we have to say that?

 Why are people defending a person who thinks they are smart enough,
 and has just proved that they're not?

 Miod, Dale, Kurt, Kettenis and I am quite often the first people to
 deal with bumping systems forward over bumps.  Some bumps are so
 difficult that after they are done the rest of us jump over them using
 snapshots.  When they happen, WE -- THE DEVELOPERS -- USE THE
 SNAPSHOTS!  They happen in lots of releases.  Why would we use
 snapshots, because we are stupid?  Or are we smart enough to not waste
 our time doing things the hard way?

 Uwe thinks he's being really clever, but he's not clever at all.  He's
 got a record of choosing the hardest paths.  That's his problem.  I
 just wish he wouldn't be such a loud whiner when he screws his system
 up.

But I don't understand what he's doing differently to me.  A new release is
out, you want to upgrade from the previous release to the new one, and
then you want to apply the errata patches.

Not saying I'm doing it perfectly, but I'd like to understand where he's
going wrong because I do something similar - and wrong, from the sound of it.

I don't want to follow current, I just follow the release  apply errata
patches.
(But it looks like Uwe, I am NOT doing it 100% right.)

So I was on 4.5, 4.6 came out.  I got the 4.6 CD, followed the upgrade
process.
I replaced /usr/src with the 4.6 code off the CD, downloaded the errata
patches, built.

4.7 comes out, I upgrade from CD, copied the 4.7 source over, downloaded
errata, built.

Seems to work most of the time apart from a patch requiring a userland build
(like
openssl) so this is where I am obviously going wrong.

A snapshot is a point-in-time, may-have-issues, best way to follow current
build,
isn't it?  But I'd rather follow release.

I appreciate you've got better things to do than hand-holding, so I'll work
my
way through it, but any cluesticks appreciated.

Thanks.

 Look, there are several flaws to the way make works.

 Those flaws are *totally integral* to the way make works.

 In most cases, you get lucky, sometimes you don't.

 Basically, the flaw is that make needs a list of dependencies to work.
 It can either be hardcoded in makefiles, or regenerated through .depend.

 For anything but the most trivial projects, it is regenerated dynamically
 through make depend.   But if that information changes too much
 (especially when files get removed), then it fails.

 It fails HARD.

 As in, you get a make error because it can no longer find a dependency it
 used to find.

 If you're even less lucky, it fails silently. As in, it forgets to register
 a dependency/recompile a file even though things have changed.

 Make doesn't know about every dependency. Especially tweaks to compile
flags,
 changes in defines, too deep changes don't get noticed.

 Oh yeah, you *could* add more meta-junk that says that whenever you change
 THAT file, then you have to recompile this and this. More often than not,
 GNU-hell projects (as known as autoshit, as known as
automake/autoconf/libtool)
 err in the other direction. So you make a wee little tweak to a file in
there,
 and suddenly, it recompiles the WHOLE WORLD.  And assumes you have every
 crappy development tool the FSF ever shat on the world. Very offensive if
 you ask me (that's the whole point of the REORDER_DEPENDENCIES in ports
land,
 btw.  This allows up to sneak out of that problem every time we do a small
 patch to a Makefile.in in GNUlalaland).


 It's all about process. You got a process you can follow to rebuild
OpenBSD.
 Follow it to the letter. If you take shortcuts, you will get bitten
 eventually.

 If you're smart enough, you will recover. But it is complicated.


 Hint: if the guy who's actually in charge of the OS, and the guy who's
 actually maintaining make are BOTH telling you it's complicated, then it
 probably is.  Do you think you're smarter than Theo and I combined ?
 Go ahead, prove us wrong...

No way!!!  I certainly wasn't saying it wasn't complicated, or that I had a
better way, it was more that I thought I *was* following the right process.

I appreciate OpenBSD and all the work you guys do.  Especially taking
the time to explain - the cluesticks have been applied (just leave off with
the thumbscrews, please.)

I got into a pattern of clear src, get new src from CD, apply patch, follow
*literal* patch instructions (without thinking/reading about the patch
*context*,
or how I might actually need to do a little more work.)

Apart from RTFMing, we learn from mistakes, and this has been one
of mine.

Thanks.

 of
 bsd.rd in the root of your boot drive, then instruct the
 boot loader to boot using this new bsd.rd file. On amd64 and i386, you do
 this by entering boot bsd.rd at the initial boot prompt.

 OK, I'll get the bsd.rd from the 4.7 release CD (but could have used

 No, you couldn't encounter it.
 It comes in later.
 I have now the whole upgrade session of my third machine, the log is  2
 MB.
 Whenever I rebooted, it was okay:
 1. reboot to start bsd.rd - okay
 2. reboot directly after bsd.rd upgrade - okay
 3. reboot after 'Final steps', before pkg_add - okay
 4. reboot after 'Upgrading packages' - okay
 5. reboot after patching - old files and wrong timestamps - bummer, as
 Theo might say.

 you mean applying the errata47.html patches? If so, are you certain
 your source tree is tagged OPENBSD_4_7 and not anything else?

 --patrick
I think we are getting closer, aren't we?

So, NOTHING to do with the actual upgrade, is it?  Or the ports/packages.

It is something to do with how you are PATCHING after an upgrade.

You don't mention where/when you get the source you patch?

Because that would be a separate step, wouldn't it?

(I usually install from CD, so I scrub /usr/src  load from src.tar.gz on the
CD.)




 I wonder if I can put the file up into the open, or if it contains
 security-related matter.??
 As bz2 it is just 91 k; I will of course make it available to

I've been doing upgrades from *around* the 4.2 release, but always

And I've not (so far as I can recall) can to clear /usr/obj before applying

Maybe patch 3 for 4.7 might be responsible this time around?  If you try the

 a patch to the upgrade guide would be wrong.

 The problem is the patching process (a special case of the userland build

you try to rebuild the same userland utility more than once for /any/ reason
without clearing the obj dir, you can run into problems.  Clearing the obj
directory as part of the upgrade is like flushing your toilet based on the

 faq10.html, section 10.15 would be more appropriate, I think.  It will
probably require more than a couple line diff to work it in clearly.

So something in or around here ...

Not all patches are for the kernel. In some cases, you will have to rebuild
individual utilities. At other times, will require recompiling all utilities
statically linked to a patched library. Follow the guidance in the header of
the patch, and if uncertain, rebuild the entire system.

Along the lines of:

In some cases (you'll know you have do this because x) you need to clean
/usr/obj first, you do this by y.

Let me learn what x and y are.

 Well, I've found that using an HTTP mirror works.  However, this is
concerning because all of these machines were able to use FTP properly before,
some Debian machines on the same network can use FTP mirrors correctly (plus
`ftp` to the same OpenBSD mirrors works from Debian), and the links browser on
the OpenBSD machines seems to do FTP correctly too.

 One way or the other, the 'ftp' utility seems to have gotten broken since
4.6.  I'd hazard to guess that it might not be supporting passive FTP anymore,
since active FTP does not work from the network and this is reminiscent of
what would happen if I tried using active FTP from behind a firewall in the
past...

 I've worked around the immediate problem with HTTP for now...but is there
any more useful information that I can provide from my end?

(Re-sending, don't think I cc'd list first time)

Just from my experiences ...

Two 4.6 boxes (one behind ISA, one behind a 4.3 OpenBSD box - yes urgent
upgrade planned soon!)

Both upgraded from 4.7 CD, both had packages upgraded with:

export PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp3.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.7/packages/i386
pkg_add -ui -D update -D updatedepends

(I tried the Australian mirrors but no 4.7 packages found on there when I
tried - or I did something wrong.)

Then fetched the first 5 patches by using FTP client to pull the files from
the links on the errata page.

No issues here.

I've probably completely missed the point, so get the cluesticks out!

 The only way around this is to (dramatically) change your block size, and
 then you might end up wasting a significant amount of disk depending on the
 type of files you're storing on it.

 As fond as I am of OpenBSD, this just isn't something it's very good at at
 the moment.

 (Alternatively, you could install an uninterruptible power supply with a
 USB connection, set up monitoring in OpenBSD, and have the machine cleanly
 shut itself down if the battery runs out. But that's kinda just a stopgap
 solution.)

 Yes you can.

 Follow the BSD licence terms (none of which say anything about for
 profit) and you are fine.

 There is absolutely zero legal reason you cannot put together a cd of
 OpenBSD and sell it. The official CD has some further licencing
 restrictions, so if you were to copy it verbatim it would constitute a
 breach of these terms.

 But if you create your own and sell it. No problem.

No problem?  Maybe not (I don't know) a legal/licence problem, but you are
biting the hand that feeds / killing the golden goose.

The project pays for the development environment and developer events by
selling CDs ... These finances ensure that OpenBSD will continue to exist
...

But I sense another troll ...

Re: Segfault in Apache after upgrade to v4.6

[Richard Toohey]

Hi

I've just upgraded a couple of (old-ish) servers to 4.6 and now  
Apache has
started throwing intermittent segfaults on both. (dmesgs appended  
below)

I previously upgraded from 4.4 to 4.5 without incident.

Both of these machines have been running faultlessly for months  
without issue
so something has gone wrong following the upgrade. Both machines  
are serving
different web-sites so I don't believe there is anything specific  
to the

php/html code on the sites.


I have the following PHP5 modules loaded in /var/www/conf/php5/*.ini

Server 1
extension=gd.so
extension=mbstring.so
extension=mcrypt.so
extension=mysql.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so

Server2
extension=mcrypt.so
extension=mysql.so
extension=snmp.so


Assuming this is a fault in a loaded module it has to be either  
mcrypt or
mysql. I suspect this is mysql as one of the sites served is  
basically static

HTML without mysql and this site does not appear to cause a segfault.


Any ideas how I can track down what is causing the problem and more
importantly, how to fix it.

Thanks in advance
Jeremy


[cut]

Can't help you directly, but there are a few questions that might  
help ...


1. Upgraded as per instructions - http://www.openbsd.org/faq/ 
upgrade46.html?

2. Upgrade included packages at the end of those instructions?
3. Applied errata patches (don't think they would make a difference  
here?)

4. What version of Apache?  1.3 in base, or 2.x from ports?
5. MySQL and PHP - from packages or ports?  What versions?
6. Nothing in the archives can help?  e.g. http://marc.info/?

Re: How to set up sendmail

Hi I'm trying to set up sendmail as my home mail server but it's my

I know it's already installed and enabled in base but will only

So I've added this flag in rc.conf.local to enable it it receive  
external connections:


sendmail_flags=-L sm-mta -bd -q30m

And I've also changed my router settings to forward all packets  
from port 587 to my openbsd box.

And I've restarted the computer.
But I still can't set up an account on my Macintosh to access the  
openbsd mail server.
What am I doing wrong? And does sendmail use the IMAP or POP  
protocol? I prefer to use IMAP if possible.



[cut]

sendmail uses SMTP.  popa3d is in base for POP3.  I haven't got as  
far as IMAP yet.


Wikipedia and the manuals a good place to start!

Running an external-facing mail server might not be a good idea
until you've got a lot more of the concepts under your belt!

Having spoken to some OpenBSD users in Australia it appears as if  
your best

bet is to order directly from https://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order

That way you can make a per-order as well.

Not quite Australia but I've ordered 3.5 onwards from the Computer

and my orders have always arrived in New Zealand in good time (and  
well before release

if I get my order in on time - pre-ordering is definitely worth it.)

The CD jewel cases used to be - without fail - broken, but NO issues  
since 4.0 and the DVD cases.
